Install on Mac OS X or Windows

Compilation requires a C compiler like GCC to compile third party libaries used by Ebiten. You would need MinGW on Windows, and would need Xcode on Mac OS X.

Let's get the Ebiten source code and compile it.

:; go get github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten

If you want to run your game on a web browser, execute this:

:; go get github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs
:; go get github.com/gopherjs/webgl

Install on Linux

Before installing Ebiten, you might need these libraries:

Ebiten is tested on Ubuntu Linux x64.

Execute the example

:; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/examples
:; go run rotate/main.go

Run your game on a desktop

Just execute your Go program. That's it!

Run your game on a web browser

Compile your game with GopherJS:

:; gopherjs build -o yourgame.js path/to/yourgame

Then, open the below HTML on your HTTP server:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="yourgame.js"></script>

NOTE: file:// URL may not work with Ebiten. Execute your game on a HTTP server.
